I think it's just because the side moshers are pussies who are afraid to get hit in the real pit.

If you don't wanna get hit, don't go around hitting defenseless bystanders trying to make yourself look tough, cuz really it just makes you look like a pussy.

That is all.

People are going to get mad at you for calling the ninja pit a "real pit"


Just a warning.

What's the point in moshing?

no mush dance

yea, man...its not a real pit if you're not shirtless, stomping around like an idiot shoving and punching people in your path.......you dumbass

i totally agree. i like to see the band and zone out on the music rather than get punched, kicked, elbowed, w/e. my reasoning is just that i pay to get into a show, I'd rather enjoy the music than end up having to take care of a bloody nose.

It was fun touching other boys when I was 15. I just don't get the same thrill out of it these days.

I never said I mosh...did I? I was actually just standing around during Dillenger Escape Plan and some side mosher decided to elbow me in the face.

moshing is generally a way for poeple to say "Look at me, I'm tough, so I'm gonna wear a bandana over my face and run around like a headless fucking chicken"

Wasn't directed at you, bro, no worries.

Does anyone find these "pit confessionals" incredibly funny?

d00d I WAS WICKED FUCKIN WATCHING THE DEP OFF TO THE SIDE AND SOME DICKWEED ELBOWED ME IN THE FUCKIN FACE so I didn't say anything to him at all because I was afraid of being attacked by the mosh patrol so I internalized my anger and resolved to throw down on RTTP.

Hahahahahah

Alright then, I agree with what you're saying though. You forgot one part though, the bandit look with the bandana covering their mouths.

Hey. I do that look too, but not to mosh (see my MySpace) haha.

Actually, not to try to sound like a tough guy or anything cuz I know I'm not much of a tough guy, but I did punch him in the face, at which point he left the pit, causing others to laugh cuz it proves my point, he's a fucking pussy.

Right, because a good hard punch in the face would NEVER hurt a Mosh Pit Titan.

you kids are so out of it. kids around here rarely even """""side mosh"""" (whatever that means). the trendy thing now is "two stepping" (or skanking if you have a clue), running back and forth and pileons. Oh, and girls two-stepping. That's painfully big too.

Personally I think it's the most boring thing ever to watch a bunch of nurlers and ugly girls all lineup and show off their "twostepping". It's like watching Riverdance to me. But nobody asked me. Then again watching a bunch of uncoordinated 19 year old knobs try to do spinkicks and carthweels got old too.

I think anyone who's gone to hardcore shows in NYC (Queens especially), Pennsylvania, and Jersey might have a little more appreciation for """side moshing""". It's not so much about imitating, and looking cool there, some of the stuff I've seen kids do is insane. One of the best shows I've ever seen was in NYC last year. It was an all day show and kids were going berzerk all day long, doing flips over railings into people, diving off the bar, it was out of control. You literally weren't "safe" standing anywhere but outside, or in the bathroom. Everybody got hit at least once (I went down during the 2nd band) and there weren't any fights. It was totally fun, and terrifying at the same time and if you got hit you got hit. I don't see anything wrong with having fun.

TWO STEP!

emo wiggle.

Mike's brings up an interesting point. Shows would be much more interesting if people would mosh in the bathroom.

I don't think you were at the Rob Zombie show in April, where two people actually tried to during Lacuna Coil.

HO DOWN!!!

HOOTENANNY!

How the fuck do you mosh to Lacuna Coil?

Fucking retarded.

I bet they were fat goths in ren faire dresses. That is Lacuna Coil's core fanbase.

tr00f

They weren't moshing, they were fighting over a butterfinger.

what's the point in this thread when you could be eating pills... by the dozen?

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

Mallgoths. You know, the pants with two thousand straps and a couple hundred chains, not to mention about 50 zippers on each leg, and baggy enough to make a dress for a fat person.

This is possibly the smartest thing anyone has ever said on this entire board.

what is this cry babyfest

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

Hook me up.

BobNOMAAMRooney nli said:

I once saw a band play in the bathroom of the Living Room. No one moshed.

p.s. if that first sentence makes no sense to you you shouldn't be on this board.

I'm sick of these metal moshing vs hardcore moshing discussions. When is everybody going to realize that BOTH forms of moshing are gay.

menstrual_sweatpants_disco said:

I concur...

I don't pay money to go to a show and see kids half my size act tough and punch/kick/slap/push/hump each other, I'm there to see the band.

The solution to not getting hit is to not stand on the edge of the pit. I'm sick of people bitching about this too. Man up or shut up.
